Coronation Street fans ‘get’ Lauren Bolton’s grim fate

Coronation Street fans think they predicted a bleak and grisly end for Lauren Bolton.

The runaway teenager has been missing for months, with her former employer Roy Cropper in jail awaiting trial for her murder. For weeks, viewers have been campaigning for soap bosses to ‘Free Roy’, with a number of Corrie stars also wearing T-shirts bearing the same two-word slogan.

Bethany Platt is on a one-woman mission to find out what really happened to Lauren. And when he went to a police reconstruction of the young woman’s last movements, he was dealt a terrible blow.

She came face to face with her abuser Nathan Curtis, who as far as Bethany knew was still in prison. Since then she has been trying to track him down, convinced he has something to do with Lauren’s disappearance.

Her boyfriend, Daniel Osbourne, wasn’t convinced, until they found Nathan – now named Joe – working on a nearby construction site. And while some viewers believe Lauren will emerge unscathed at some point, the setting of Friday’s episode has others thinking the worst for Lauren.

On X, David said, “Lauren is going to be somewhere on that site under 6 feet of concrete,” and Michael said, “I see cement… I really hope Lauren isn’t under there.” Dan said, “Joe killed Lauren, didn’t he?”

Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV and ITVX
